Immigration officials detain Karnataka MLA for cheating | Immigration officials at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport detained mine lord and Karnataka MLA Santosh Lad on Thursday morning while he was on his way to Dubai. Lad, who represents the
Kalaghatgi constituency in Dharwad District, was wanted by the Delhi Police in
connection with a cheating case. A real estate company operating in the National
Capital Region (NCR) had filed a case of cheating against Lad. A Look Out Circular
(LOC) had also been issued in Lad's name. Lad informed immigration officials that
he was aware of the case against him in Delhi, and maintained that he was in touch
with the investigation officer and trying to arrive at a compromise with the complainant.
According sources, the Delhi Police have been informed about Lad's detention and
a team is expected to land in Mumbai to take Lad into its custody. Lad's elder
brother Anil is a Rajya Sabha member. Lad brothers came to limelight when they
played a key role in pulling down the JD(S) -Congress coalition government led
by Dharam Singh and installed the JD (S) -BJP Government led by Kumarswamy in
Karnataka in 2006. |
